I am pleased to report that I accomplished the shebang preparations that were on the list for this past weekend. A good thing, since I only have two weekend days left to prepare.
While I was tidying and cleaning, I came across a paperback book, titled "Read-Aloud Romper Room Stories". I am thinking that it came to me through one of the usual avenues - estate auction, garage sale, etc and it is not in great shape. Many of the pages are loose, but that made it easier to share some of the illustrations! The title page was missing, so I do not know if the illustrator was credited, but the pictures are very charming.
I think that there are many stitching projects amongst them!
I love these trees! From 'The Evergreens', a fable of why the evergreens get to keep their needles through the winter.
This little bug is from "The Green Grass" (grew all around). It was just a tiny illustration at the bottom of the page.
This is Froggy Gone A'courting.
This is from The Brave Little Steam Shovel. Love the fins on the cars!
This illustrated "A Funny Story".
I scanned about thirty of the illustrations. I will add them to my Flikr stream in the next day or two as I get them cleaned up. There are some cuties!
